Am I behind or what??? This is going to be a little bit of everything blog to get caught up. Kade has started his football season with a 1-1 record. He has been playing primarily defensive line and has been doing a great job! He has made some big improvements this year and is more aggressive. Kade got his name announced for an awesome tackle that he had against the Chiefs too! We (Alexandria and I) were able to make it to his game this weekend since the weather was so great. Kade was very excited to see her there and she was very excited to see him after the game...she didn't want to come back to me and clung to his jersey...pretty cute! Grandma Renae and Papa Jon were able to go to the game with us too, which was fun. The week before the Bears played the Dolphins in the rain.
Kade ready to go!!!!

Sis is Kade's biggest fan!!!
These 3 spent more time goofing around then watching the game. Thanks for entertaining Al guys!!!
Nice sunny day.
Saturday we went and got Kade and headed to the Center Grove Orchard in Cambridge for some fall fun...it was a perfect day! Alexandria is still too young to take part in a lot of the activities, but did enjoy seeing the animals and riding the hay rack to get our pumpkins. Oh, she was a big fan of the caramel covered apples as well! Kade enjoyed jumping on the huge bounce pillow and going down the giant slide. When we got home, Papa Mike and Nana Pam stopped by for a visit which we enjoyed!

Sis couldn't wait for Pumpkin pie.
Chocolate Cinnamon Carmel Apple. Sis wanted the whole thing. And no I'm not mad, just focused.
A little side note: On our way to the Orchard on Saturday we came across State Trooper Mark Toney's funeral procession. He was killed in an accident earlier in the week near Indianola and was a very well known and respected man in the law enforcement family. They closed Hwy 69 south bound going into Ankeny so the State Patrol, other officers, family and his casket, which was being carried in a case by horses, could procede down to the burial site. It was a very sad, but neat site. Many people had pulled over along side of the road to take pics, let their children watch and even a farmer took a break from harvesting to stand outside of his tractor on the step to salute the Trooper. Two fire trucks were parked at an intersection and had a huge flag hanging from it for everyone to walk under...truly an amazing site.
Monday Night Football was Redskins vs. Cowboys, so Uncle John came to hang out and watch the game with Heath. Alexandria was definitely showing off for him...don't know if she was just that excited or if the whole chocolate chip cookie she ate had anything to do with her unusual behavior?! She still isn't walking, but has taken some steps. She remains a very cautious one with the walking but has no fear when it comes to climbing on things. Her vocabulary is getting bigger all the time...I seem to know what she is saying even though you can't understand her. Her daycare lady has informed us that she is the most "talkative" 1 yr. old she has ever had in her 35 years! For what I hear from my mother....I was the same way. I can just see it now...on her report cards...."is a great student, but talks too much." (Just like mommy) :)
Now that you are all caught up...enjoy all the pics! Happy Fall!!!
Start them young is my motto.
